About Me

I am currently an Assistant Professor of Physics at Krea University in Sri City (India). Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral associate at IMPMC of Sorbonne Université in Paris (2018-2020) and at the Geophysical Laboratory, part of Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C (2015-2018). 

I am an experimental physicist with research interests spanning across both condensed matter physics and materials science. I try to integrate the tools of physics and chemistry with engineering principles to create, study and optimize materials of technological significance. The two key focus areas are 1) studying phonon-quasiparticle interactions at low-temperature and high-pressure conditions using laboratory Raman and diamond anvil cells 2) discovering novel metastable phases at extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. For more details, please see my research page.

Outside the professional life, I like sports, travelling (see the gallery page), gardening, and cooking.
